Hoyt, thank you for this -- what a treasure. I have just gotten to it and am looking forward to reading everything. I do appreciate all the time and interest you have given to help me with this Veteran, William M. Rockwood.

Here is the URL to the web site showing the back of his wife's pension application of 1916. It is witnessed and approved by people who knew her -- and who also were required, I am sure, to consult the Rebel archives in Washington. (I have seen correspondence between Washington and the county's Chancery Clerk and Board of Inquiry when a man's service was in question.)
